Creator Essentials: What To Buy For Boxing Day & The New Year

The end of the year (and Boxing Day) is the perfect time to simplify your creator setup. Instead of chasing new trends or complicated gear, this list focuses on creator essentials that remove friction and make creating easier.

Canon PowerShot G7 X A creator classic for good reasons. Still one of the best camera to get beautiful, high-quality shots without overthinking the setup.

USB-C Memory Card Reader For fast transfers of photos and video from your camera to your phone or laptop.

Portable Selfie Light We've relied on this one for years. It's small, rechargeable, and somehow saves even pitch-black rooms.

Mini Wireless Microphone Cleaner, more natural sound than others we’ve tried at a similar price point, with true plug-and-play ease.

MagSafe Power Bank Has saved us (and our phone batteries) more times than we can count on long filming or travel days.

Adjustable Tripod Sturdy, rotatable, and easy to use for both vertical and horizontal filming.

Magnetic Phone Grip For easy hands-free photos - holds securely, is easy to reposition, and doesn’t leave residue when you move it around.

Phone Mount More flexible than a regular phone grip, with adjustable angles that make filming or recording in the car easier and cleaner.

Overhead Tripod A must for hands-only content like cooking videos, but also great for flat lays, unboxings, and product shots.

Bluetooth Monitor Screen Lets you see yourself/the framing while using the back camera.

What matters most is what makes filming easier for you. Start small, get the essentials that fit your workflow, and build over time.

Happy Boxing Day!
